عَدَدنا لَهُ خَمساً وَعِشرينَ حجَّةً

فَلَمّا تَوَفّاها اِستَوى سَيَّداً ضَخما

We counted twenty five pilgrimages for him

Then when he passed away he became a great master

فُجِعنا بِهِ لَمّا اِنتَظَرنا إِيابَهُ

عَلى خَير حالٍ لا وَليداً وَلا قَحما

We grieved for him when we awaited his return

In the best condition, not as a newborn nor worn down
